A
new Washington Post/ABC News poll
finds that support for gay marriage has hit a new high, with 59 percent
of Americans backing it, while only 34 percent are opposed. The poll
also finds
that 50 percent believe the Constitution’s “equal protection” clause
guarantees the legal right to marry — suggesting public support is
growing for the
argument that observers say will hasten the demise of legal barriers to gay marriage nationally. This could weigh on the Supreme Court.
Republicans are alone here: They oppose legal gay marriage by 54-40;
and they don’t believe the “equal protection” clause guarantees the
legal right to marry by 54-38. Majorities of independents and moderates
are in the Yes camp on both.
